No country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself and this is the risk that the countries of Europe run through misguided altruism.
Tony Abbott
Part of my role, I suppose, is to run government business in the House of Representatives, and try to ensure that people know exactly what's going on in the Chamber is an important part of that.
Tony Abbott
When you are challenging the young, they can come back at you with language of tremendous power and they are no respecters of sacred cows, you know, the young. There's nothing politically correct about the average young Australian when it comes to use of language.
Tony Abbott
A bit of body contact never hurt anyone.
Tony Abbott
I instinctively try to protect people from filth.
Tony Abbott
When the world is in trouble, Australia responds. Australia is a good, global citizen.
